According to our sources on ground, the students were kicked out of the Student Union building, and there are fears they might even be arrested.

Following a meeting with the University Senate that lasted about four hours, the school management has not only suspended the Student Union, it's also liable to proscription.

The school security not only shut down the Student Union building, they also seized the Student Union's bus.

On Monday May 29th, students, armed with placards took to protest some ongoings they deemed unfair on students. First, they hadn't been issued Student ID cards for two sessions, so they demanded "No IDs, no exams." Then also, cooking appliances are banned in the Girls' Hostel. And they wanted that ban lifted.

This protest didn't go down so well with the school authorities, and in no time, the police was involved.

It's what led to the threat by the commissioner of police to deal with students found protesting outside the school premises.

By the end of Monday, the school had ordered the closure of the University and examinations were postponed till July 17.
